"The Wizard of Odd" lays claim to the WWE Cruiserweight Championship, and vows to prove he belongs at the top of the division when he faces T.J. Perkins next week on Raw.

Although WWE veteran Brian Kendrick claims that the WWE Cruiserweight Championship was resurrected just for him, the prize eluded him at WWE Clash of Champions, where T.J. Perkins ultimately turned back the bitter “Wizard of Odd” in a grueling back-and-forth contest.

Kendrick has been even more disrespectful toward the titleholder than usual since that night, and will do whatever it takes to climb to the top of Raw’s Cruiserweight division. The self-professed “Wrestling Yoda” will look to get one step closer to that goal when he goes head-to-head with Perkins Monday night at the Los Angeles’ STAPLES Center. Can he put himself in line for another title opportunity?
